Welcome to 2016 IEEE 2nd International Symposium on Robotics and Manufacturing Automation (IEEE ROMA2016). IEEE ROMA2016 is the second in ROMA conference series, organized by IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE-RAS) Malaysia Chapter. IEEE ROMA2016 provides academic platform for interactive and technical discussion and presentation on various issues in robotics and manufacturing automation.

The conference theme is “Next Generation Robotics & Automation Technology for Sustainable Economic Growth” reflecting the growing spectrum and recent developments in robotics and manufacturing automation technology around the world towards sustainable economic growth.

All submissions will be peer reviewed. All accepted papers in IEEE ROMA2016 Technical Sessions will be published in the conference proceedings and will be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore database (indexed in Scopus). Papers presented in Workshop and Special Sessions, and extended version from Technical Sessions will be promoted for potential publication in indexed journals.

The organizer is also proud to organize following events in-conjunction with ROMA2016:
1) 2016 IEEE-RAS International Robot PRIDE Competition

Review Process

All papers submitted to ROMA2016 will undergo a peer-review process. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers who will give detailed comments. If the submission gets accepted, the authors will submit a revised ("camera-ready") version that takes into account this feedback. The review process is managed by the ROMA Conference Editorial Board (CEB).
All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other's identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their manuscript.
